Postcommunist Presidents by Raymond Taras (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Postcommunist Presidents by Raymond Taras Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book offers an analysis of the role of presidents in postcommunist states. Specialists examine the presidents and presidential elections in six states - Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary - asking whether strong presidents augur well for future democratic development in the region. Publisher Description The political systems that have replaced communist rule in East-Central Europe and Eurasia are closely associated with their presidents. The first democratically-elected presidents of these countries - men like Yeltsin, Havel and Waesa - have frequently been viewed as founding fathers of their countries independence. But were they successful in creating strong presidential systems in these states? Has their unquestioned personal power and charisma been institutionalized in the presidencies? Will executive power in postcommunist states remain the same when the first incumbents of the office are gone? This book offers the first comparative analysis of the role of presidents in postcommunist states. Comprising studies of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakstan among former Soviet republics, and Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary among Central European states, this book will be required reading for readers interested in how political leaders affect the fate of democracy in the former communist world.
